The T allele of ADD1 is associated with essential hypertension in Asians.

study of potential effects of interaction between DNA methylation of ADD1 promoter and ADD1 tagSNPs and environmental factors on essential hypertension (EH); results indicate ADD1 SNP rs4961 has a protective role in development of EH; interactions between alcohol consumption and DNA methylation of ADD1 gene promoter have a significant role in modifying EH susceptibility

There were significant differences between the control group and pediatric hypertensive group in terms of ACE I/D (P<0.05) and AGT M235T (P<0.05) polymorphisms, but there were no differences in ADD Gly460Trp (P>0.05) polymorphism.

A significant association was found between ADD1 gene G614T polymorphism and essential hypertension in Chinese patients. Further studies need to be done to confirm these findings in a large sample.

organization of a spectrin-like cytoskeleton is associated with keratinocyte differentiation, and cytoskeleton disruption is mediated by either PKCdelta(Thr505) phosphorylation associated with phosphorylated adducin or due to reduction of endogenous adducin

alpha Adducin (ADD1) Antigen-Profil

Beschreibung des Gens

Adducins are a family of cytoskeleton proteins encoded by three genes (alpha, beta, gamma). Adducin is a heterodimeric protein that consists of related subunits, which are produced from distinct genes but share a similar structure. Alpha- and beta-adducin include a protease-resistant N-terminal region and a protease-sensitive, hydrophilic C-terminal region. Alpha- and gamma-adducins are ubiquitously expressed. In contrast, beta-adducin is expressed at high levels in brain and hematopoietic tissues. Adducin binds with high affinity to Ca(2+)/calmodulin and is a substrate for protein kinases A and C. Alternative splicing results in multiple variants encoding distinct isoforms\; however, not all variants have been fully described.
